  • Free Fiction and Cheap, too!

    I had a really nice evening last night. It was really fun to get out, network, and play with peers. I came home bouncy and inspired, if tired from a long day, and found… well, the usual, really. But the thing is, they are attacking a very nice person, and trying to drag her down…

  • The Daily Blather

    Ok, I’m back. No, it’s not actually news blather, but you will have noticed I share at least three other blogs on fb besides my own, and this is why: fb doesn’t like people. Well, ok, let me rephrase that. They like money more than helping people. As soon as I see another way to…

  • Morning Cuppa

    I will be back later – I think – to write something for the blog. But this morning I have to get laundry done, and homework, and all the other sundry things that pile up into the slot called ‘day off.’ Which is a silly name, because  there’s no off about it. That, and I…

  • Oceans and Seas of the Heart

    When I was fairly young I spent a lot of time on the Oregon Coast with my grandmother. I can remember deciding I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was maybe six or seven, but by the time I was eight I had grown out of that and wanted to be a botanist,…

  • Link Rodeo

    Rounding up links of interest into the corral for you to peruse and try out… Here’s a fun question: what does coffee have in common with the Enlightenment and the American Revolution? Dave Freer muses on the books of old, and how heroes have changed since the days when he was a bright-eyed lad. He…

  • LibertyCon, Reading, and a Book Bomb

    Now, there’s an explosive mixture! LibertyCon 27 I will be at LibertyCon in TN next week at this time. My First Reader and I arrive sometime Thursday for gatherings pre-con with friends, and the fun starts Friday. We’ll be leaving Sunday almost immediately after the Young Adult Fiction workshop Sarah Hoyt and I will be…

  • Blogging, Why and How

    In the last 48 hours I have written about 15K words of fiction, which is a lot, for me. I have about 20% of the projected length of the novel remaining, and I want to finish it as soon as possible so I can get on to other projects, this summer being very very busy.…

  • Listen to Me

    If you’ve ever been curious to hear me, I’ll be vocally present along with other authors tonight on a BlogTalk radio podcast. I believe you will be able to access it later, as well, if you don’t feel like staying up past 9pm Eastern!  

  • Launch Day!

    Launch Day!

    It’s official, Trickster Noir is available for purchase. Print, ebooks for kindle, nook, and more, all up and ready to buy. If you enjoyed Pixie Noir, you will enjoy this tale of what comes after that story closed. I feel a little awkward talking about my own book, so hopefully a few fans will make…

  • Promoting and Marketing

    I was accused the other day on FB of having a scarcity mentality, while the other person proudly proclaimed they had an abundance mentality. After I got through face-palming over the ridiculousness of it, I decided it was a good point to bring up here. You see, this person was reacting to my having asked…

  • Witchfinder

    There is no snippet this week. I am wrestling behind the scenes with the full cover layout for the print version, and honestly wondering why, because so few copies will sell that way… and then I remember how good it feels to hold Pixie Noir in my hands. Sarah A Hoyt, my mentor in writing,…

  • Writers have Vanity Issues

    Writers have Vanity Issues

    “Probably other bathroom fixture issues, too.” (the First Reader) There is a difference, my friends, between independently or self publishing, and vanity publishing. For that matter, micro presses and small presses aren’t always that safe, either. This post isn’t about the sharks swimming in the legacy publisher’s pool, so we will leave them unchummed for…
